Editor: Built-in and External

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Items 211, 250, and 258 are related. I support the request to make line wrap 
optional.

The other features are also nice but I suggest that the built-in editor be kept 
minimal. Instead of bloating the built-in editor, create an optional external 
editor which can be selected as a setting. Some benefits are:

  - Editor changes don't require an SL4A revision/update.

  - The user can, if enabled, select an editor other than the built-in and other than the add-on, or use only the built-in to conserve memory.

  - The SL4A project work can be more easily distributed.

A programable editor is too much to ask for but if it can be done, how about a 
single menu item which can be user configured to run a script? The result would 
be that while I am editing a script I can hit the menu to run a menu script I 
write. Of the many choices on this menu there might be one which reads the 
clipboard, converts to lowercase, and writes it back to the clipboard. Another 
choice might select a file and copy the path into the clipboard.
